Context

Maritime security is critical for the stability and prosperity of the Southeast Asian (SEA) region, and

wider ARF domain. Maritime security-related issues represent some of the most pressing but

potentially useful areas for cooperation for the ARF; the region’s seas are becoming congested and

contested, many countries continue to invest in advanced naval and civil maritime capabilities, and

terrorists and other criminals take advantage of the relatively porous maritime boundaries as a means

to proliferate their criminal agendas.

Due to the importance of shipping and seaborne trade in the ARF region, some forms of cooperation

have developed, both bilaterally and through multilateral fora, with a view to combating and preventing

maritime security-related threats. However, cooperative efforts through enhanced international

engagement can always be improved, as in some instances there are areas in which cooperation still

falls short of what is necessary.

The ARF Inter-Sessional Meeting on Maritime Security (ISM-MS) was established by the 15th ARF

Ministerial Meeting in Singapore in July 2008. Ministers at the 18th ARF in Bali, Indonesia adopted

the first ARF Work Plan on Maritime Security in July 2011 in order to build common perceptions of

threats and challenges in maritime security. Over the next three years, the work plan guided

cooperative activities in support of the ARF’s ISM-MS. Ministers at the 22nd Meeting of the ARF in

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in August 2015 adopted the second ARF Work Plan on Maritime Security

2015-2017. However, the dynamic nature of the regional security landscape, coupled with

recognisable progress made in confidence building, best practice exchanges and practical

cooperation under the ARF ISM-MS and other fora, underscored the need for the ARF to keep the

Work Plan under review.

At the 9th ARF Inter-Sessional Meeting on Maritime Security in Tokyo, Japan on 8-9 February 2017,

ARF members commended the role of the Second Work Plan as a guiding document for maritime

security activities and discussion under the ARF framework. ARF members emphasised the need to

ensure, that in developing a new ARF Work Plan on Maritime Security for the period 2018-2020,

initiatives undertaken by the ARF closely align with other maritime security mechanisms in the region

such as the ADMM-Plus and the EAS to avoid duplication of efforts. The Tokyo meeting further noted

the importance of information sharing and the need to identify gaps in maritime agreements and

frameworks in order to develop a robust and effective new Work Plan. At the ARF Inter-Sessional

Support Group Meeting on Confidence Building Measures and Preventive Diplomacy, Ottawa,

Canada, on 11-12 May 2017, it was further reiterated that there is a need to ensure that the

development of a new Work Plan should take into consideration initiatives undertaken in other

relevant forums to avoid duplication of efforts.

Regional heads of government and ministers continue to place high importance on maritime security

issues, as reflected in: the ASEAN Regional Forum Ministerial Statement on Enhancing Cooperation

among Maritime Law Enforcement Agencies at the 23rd ARF Foreign Ministers’ Meeting on 26 July

2016 in Vientiane, Laos; and the East Asia Summit Statement on Enhancing Regional Maritime

Cooperation, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 22 November 2015.

Objective

As a guiding document approved by the ARF Ministers, the principle objective of this Maritime Security

Work Plan is to create, in accordance with ARF Ministerial guidance, a practical, long-term,

coordinated and comprehensive plan that:

➢prioritises the issues on which the ARF ISM-MS should concentrate its future effort;

➢creates a compilation of shared experiences and lessons learned;

FINAL

➢strengthens existing networks to share and exchange information;

➢assists in the coordination of regional and/or sub-regional capacity-building exercises and training

related to maritime security;

➢maintains and builds on existing ARF participants’ efforts in capacity-building, technical support and

information exchange;

➢complements and coordinates with existing regional and international agencies, arrangements and

initiatives; and

➢advances ARF Maritime Security efforts in a direction that contributes to the goals of the ARF Vision

Statement endorsed by Foreign Ministers in July 2009 and the Hanoi Plan of Action endorsed by

Foreign Ministers in May 2010.

A key issue is the extent to which the ARF ISM-MS should balance its work between traditional and

non-traditional security issues. Non-traditional security issues are recognised as useful early building

blocks, which are conducive to the cultivation of mutual trust and consensus in the region. Consistent

with the Preventive Diplomacy Work Plan and based on consensus, potential measures of Preventive

Diplomacy and confidence building in the maritime domain have a place in the ARF Work Plan on

Maritime Security.

Framework

Consistent with the long-term goals of the ARF Vision Statement, including the development of the

ARF into an action-oriented mechanism, the Work Plan should identify Priority Areas for the ARF’s

maritime security efforts and distinguish the ARF’s role in the context of other regional efforts. While

there are various important aspects of international maritime security cooperation, the ARF should

focus its own work in the fields where it can bring the most benefit given its geographic focus,

participation, and past work, as well as the specific interests of its members. Accordingly, within the

framework of the ARF, this Work Plan will seek to complement, as appropriate, other ARF work plans,

including on Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime; Disaster Relief; Non-Proliferation and

Disarmament; Security of and in the Use of Information and Communications Technologies; and

Preventive Diplomacy.

Priority Areas

The ARF Maritime Security Work Plan 2018-2020 will be guided by “Priority Areas.” The following

Priority Areas will serve as the primary guideposts for cooperative efforts under this Work Plan:

1. Shared Awareness and Exchange of Information and Best Practices

• Co-Leads: [TBC]

2. Confidence Building Measures based on International and Regional Legal Frameworks,

Arrangements and Cooperation including the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of

the Sea (UNCLOS)

• Co-Leads: Malaysia and Japan

3. Capacity Building and Enhancing Cooperation of Maritime Law Enforcement Agencies in the

Region

• Co-Leads: Malaysia and China

FINAL

4

When developing a proposal for an official ARF maritime security activity, ARF participants are

encouraged to consider the said Priority Areas.

ISM-MS

In order to facilitate active participation by ARF participants at the annual ARF ISM-MS, Annex A:

Guide to 2018-2020 ISM-MS provides details on the key topics that the 2018-2020 ISM-MS Co-chairs

will feature in the ISM agenda.

ARF Maritime Security Project Proposals

With a view to strengthening the connection between ARF official events and this Work Plan, in

submitting project proposals to acquire the status of an official ARF event, ARF participants are

encouraged to indicate, as appropriate, how their project can contribute to the Priority Areas of the

Work Plan.

Projects can take a variety of forms to fit the particular needs and nature of the Priority Areas. As

appropriate, projects can be single events or a series of activities with increasing complexity. Some

examples include, but are not limited to:

1. ARF-wide or sub-regional training focused on improving law enforcement capacity, including

inter-agency coordination;

2. Capacity-building workshops that share information on experiences in maritime security,

bringing in government, private sector and other relevant experts, as agreed, to train and/or

develop best practices;

3. Multilateral tabletop and/or field exercises that would test the modes of communication

(including information-sharing) among ARF and sub-regional participants; and

4. Studies on selected aspects of maritime security, in particular focused on improved risk

assessment and risk reduction.

FINAL

5

Co-Chair and Lead Countries’ Responsibilities

The Co-chairs of the ARF ISM-MS and Lead Countries for each priority area will work to implement

this Work Plan through, inter-alia, encouraging ARF participants to organise ARF official events in

line with the Priority Areas and taking into consideration the ISM-MS Topics.

Along with co-chairing the annual ARF ISM-MS, the Co-chairs are responsible for updating the Work

Plan and synchronising the ARF ISM-MS with other regional/sub-regional maritime fora. The Co-

chairs will also cooperate with the ARF Unit to update the list of ARF Points of Contact for

Implementation of the Maritime Security Work Plan in Annex C.

Lead Countries for each Priority Area (one ASEAN and one non-ASEAN) are responsible for

coordinating and presenting input provided by ARF participants in their respective Priority Area,

proposing projects, coordinating the work in their Priority Area, and seeking out funding and hosts for

projects in need of assistance. Lead Countries are also responsible for:

➢ Liaising with the ARF Unit on the coordination and implementation of Priority Area requirements;

➢ Updating the ARF Unit on Work Plan contributions every six months; and

➢ Working with the ARF Unit to ensure maximum synergies among projects, as appropriate.

Relationship with Other Regional/International Efforts

There is an obvious need for the Work Plan to be complementary to and coordinated appropriately

with relevant regional and global efforts on maritime security. These efforts include those undertaken

by various regional and international organisations (see Annex B). The following actions will be taken

to ensure activities do not create unnecessary redundancy, but are complementary to and in

coordination with other regional and international efforts.

➢The participation, as appropriate, of regional/international organisations acceptable to all

participants in annual ISM-MS meetings;

➢The ARF Unit and ISM-MS Co-chairs should also seek participation in relevant meetings of other

regional/international efforts;

➢Consistent sharing of organisation reports, strategies, and Work Plans, etc. by ARF with other

organisations is encouraged;

➢Lead Countries, ARF Unit, and ISM-MS Co-Chairs should regularly consult with representatives of

other fora both within and outside their own governments;

➢The ARF Unit should publish the ARF MS Work Plan on ARF and ASEAN public websites; and

➢A priority for maritime security in the ARF is to ensure that it is complementary and synchronised

with the various fora/mechanisms in the region- the ASEAN Maritime Forum has reported that there

are currently 13 different bodies associated with ASEAN that deal with maritime issues.

Implementation Timeline:

8-9 February 2017: The 9th ARF ISM-MS charged Vietnam, Australia and the EU, as the

incoming co-chairs of the ARF ISM-MS, to present the draft Work Plan 2018-2020 at the 10th ARF

ISM-MS in 2018, before submitting the draft to the ARF Inter-sessional Support Group Meeting

on Confidence Building Measures and Preventive Diplomacy (ARF ISG on CBMs and PD) and

the ARF SOM for consideration and subsequently to the 25th ARF in 2018 for adoption.

ANNEX A

Guide to 2018-2020 ISM-MS ___________________________________________________________

In order to facilitate active participation by ARF participants at the annual ARF ISM-MS, this Annex

provides details on the key topics that the 2018-2020 ISM-MS Co-Chairs will feature in the ISM

agenda.

The concept of maritime security, safety and cooperation is vast, diverse and evolving. There are

traditional security issues such as military threats and state sovereignty concerns. There are also non-

traditional challenges such as piracy and armed robbery against ships, people smuggling, terrorism,

money laundering and terrorist financing, illicit drugs and illicit small arms trafficking, and human

trafficking. Other maritime-related challenges where cooperation can be enhanced include search

and rescue, illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, natural disasters, climate change, and

understanding and protecting the marine environment. As such, the following are specified as Topics

for guiding the development of the ISM-MS agenda during the 2018-2020 co-chair cycle:

1. Maritime Security and Cooperation

2. Safety of Navigation

3. Marine Environment and Sustainable Development.

As an important mechanism for implementing this Work Plan, the ISM-MS agenda will address these

topics from the perspective of the Work Plan Priority Areas: Shared Awareness and Exchange of

Information and Best Practices; Confidence Building Measures based on International and Regional

Legal Frameworks, Arrangements and Cooperation; and Capacity Building and Enhancing

Cooperation of Maritime Law Enforcement Agencies in the Region. This method will establish a

mechanism to link the ISM-MS agenda to the Work Plan.

ISM-MS Topic#1: Maritime Security and Cooperation

___________________________________________________________

Scope:

This Topic should explore how ARF can address maritime security issues through reviewing

case studies and sharing best practices, promoting compliance and adherence to relevant

international legal instruments and regional arrangements in accordance with international

This Topic should also forge cooperation in addressing other maritime security issues and

transnational maritime crimes such as piracy and armed robbery against ships, people

smuggling, terrorism, money laundering and terrorist financing, illicit drugs and illicit small

arms trafficking, maritime cyber attacks, and human trafficking. Linkages between illegal,

unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, transnational organised crime, and food insecurity

contribute to instability, conflict, and threaten national security. These issues can be

addressed through concrete and practical activities such as maritime law enforcement

cooperation in accordance with national laws and international law.
